Another few years and the averge Inter County playing career will be 3 years for 27 or 28 Counties.
Longford manager talking after yesterday's big win said the NFL us where it's at as far as teams like Longford are concerned.

Absolutely, the league is fantastic and much better than a lot of provincial matches , a great weekend of sport just gone by, this is what championship should be all about.

12 hour later and not a defensive word from a Dub. Not a word! ''The Greatest'', ''Hound'', ''Zulu'' et al all hiding, looking through their fingers!

**** Fake News Alert ****

Ah Spewn's (Frank Grimes) hack job that he gets paid to write, taken directly from an article he wrote for the business post on multiple occasions at this stage, he obsessed and he's plain wrong and spouting lies.

Dublin hurlers have benefited from the same coaching structure as the footballers, no All Irelands. Its not allocated per registered player, that's a stupid ignorant argument. Not all School children are registered members of clubs.

Anyway, been here before , Wolves do not concern themselves with the crying of sheep.

And while they cry, the hard work will continue.

Its funny, you never hear this being talked about from Kerry or Tyrone, just the usual suspect counties who already have weak mentalities.

Christ do people only gauge success in All-Irelands

As for hurling. seriously

5 Leinster Minors and 3 runners-up in the last 12 years. Prior to that it was 1 in 40 years.

4 Leinster u21s since 2007 and 2 runners up. Prior to that you have to go back to 1972.

1 Senior Leinster Title in 2013, 1st in 50 odd years.  They even won the National League for the 1st time 70 years in 2011.

The hurling success is not measured in All-Irelands but from where they were before Bertie's cash intervention supplemented by GAA money to now, is miles apart.

I will refrain from calling you ignorant but are being deliberately obtuse as is every Dublin poster, the head in the sand stuff is mildly amusing.

Mildly, I find it hilarious, you are all so serious.

Deflect deflect deflect........

There are none so blind as those who can't see.

Personally I can't wait for 10 years time.

Still following me around id see, obsessed, I wouldn't be surprised if you were Ewan.

What happens in 10 years?  Think Kildare, Meath and Dublin will be top 5 or 6 in 10 Years.

Always nice to beat Kildare and remind them of their place, especially when they cry to the media afterwards.

Totally wrong.  You could not be more wrong. The GAA is run by county boards, then provincial councils and then Croke Park.  It is a bottom up organisation. The prizes for winning the All Ireland have remained the same for over 100 years.  Two silver cups.  Nothing else.  The GAA has honoured its responsibility nationally to get the best commercial opportunities for the association, 87% of which goes back to the counties who really need and value the revenue that they get from this source.  The GAA spends ALL of its coaching and games budget on enjoyment, participation for schoolchildren and clubs and NONE at elite county level.  It is proving virtually impossible to stem the rise in elitism in terms of training and fitness at county level.  This is driven by counties and county managers. In 2010, Paraic Duffy tried to change that, but the counties voted for it and then ignored it. They tried it with the closed season, but counties just ignored it too.  If anyone thinks the DG can change the GAA from an office in CP, then I wouldn't like to be going for his job.

Slow clap. Well said.

Plenty of money, plenty of profits.

Well considering the GAA practically sponsor Dublin GAA then this is no biggie. No one is being forced to attend.

** Fake news alert**

Dublin have multiple sponsors, not the GAA.

Toys out of the pram, eh?

Well done Dublin, Dublin GAA does not exist to subsidise other counties who massively mismanaged their finance and funding for years.

Some amount of sponsorship and money floating around that great Kerry team. Even Adidas. Hard to compete with that.

Great GAA man is Micko, one of a kind and a medal haul as manager and player which may go unmatched in football for a long time.

You'll need better bait than that.

Just stating what I seen on that documentary. Adidas, Milk, Kitchen appliances and that's only what on a 45 min doc. Going on world tours etc. Jaysus imagine.

And they played all their games at home too. Oh wait.....

3 games to win an all Ireland.

Only had to beat Cork in Munster and most of the time and easy semi final and then the final.

Its much much tougher now and even more so with Super 8s.

The old play at home card, sure wasn't a problem till recently, If anything its a disadvantage, as teams going to Croke Park who play a certain team there up their game more than usual.

No hijacking of the thread so leave it at Micko a great.

No one to beat in Leinster therefore only 3 games to and AI. Money thrown at your by the GAA and Government. Own dressing room. Free cars etc etc

If you didn't want the thread hijacked then don't go fishing. The thread is about Micko but obviously by you throwing out the bait you wanted it turned into another Dublin thread.

That's called attention seeking. Take it to one of the many Dublin threads - that's what they were set up for.

Says the guy who follows me around here. I don't get any money from the GAA

I think you need to start looking at other counties, in particular the ones that need bail outs from Croke Park for years of mismanagement of funds.

As I said Micko , a great , a gentleman, a hero, etc, but I don't think he could do it in the modern era of football.

What fundraisers do dublin actually do throughout the year, I know of dubs at the dogs that goes towards their holiday fund but anything else thats public and people know about? I never hear of them doing anything in america in the same way kerry do and make a fortune from that?

Did they not have a big all Ireland breakfast or something?

For fundraising they win All Irelands, the rest follows.

Their biggest revenue stream is SRC development grants so no, you're wrong.

Fake news.

Are people on this site actually really stupid or what. Its very very simple. They don't need to fundraise, see their sponsorship deals and attendance numbers etc.

Anyone know how many of the Dublin squad claim to suffer from asthma?

Ask them - info@hill16.ie

How many club members in St Galls were involved with the IRA or other paramilitaries or involved in other illegal activity?
